How to Make Chicken Corn Chowder With Green Chilis And Bacon

  1. If you haven't already, roast a whole chicken. Once cool, remove the meat and set aside for later. Reserve the carcass.
  2. In a large stockpot, combine the chicken carcass, corn cobs, leeks, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, oregano, and salt. Add enough water to cover completely.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for a richer broth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding the solids. Return the broth to the pot.
  5. Add the diced potatoes to the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside; reserve bacon grease.
  7. Add the green chilies (undrained) and reserved cooked chicken to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream. Heat through but do not boil.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the reserved bacon and stir gently.
  10. Serve hot, garnished with extra bacon or chopped fresh herbs if desired.
